The 11-member jury took just 2 hours in their deliberation before returning a 10:1 verdict. Presiding judge Lennox Campbell initially sent them back to deliberate further in hopes that they will reach a unanimous verdict.

But the jury returned inside the court minutes later with said 10:1 deadlock.

“We will not sit by and let this case of injustice score victory,” a rep for Vybz Kartel told Urbanislandz.com. “We will be appealing the verdict given the many questionable police corruption in the case.”

Vybz Kartel, Shawn “Storm” Campbell, Kahira Jones, André St John were all found guilty, while co-accused Shane Williams was acquitted of the murder

Jamaican authorities stunned everyone when they swoop down on a hotel in Kingston on September 30, 2011 and arrested Vybz Kartel and several other men.

Weeks later the aced dancehall star was slapped with not one but two murder charges. He was acquitted for the murder of Barrington “Bossie” Burton in July last year.

After over two years and several delays, the trial for the murder of Clive Williams got underway on November 18, 2013 in the Home Circuit court in Kingston.

The prosecution, headed by attorney Jeremy Taylor, took 46 days and 24 witnesses to build its case against the “Dancehall Hero” deejay. The Crown argued that Vybz Kartel, his protege Shawn “Storm” Campbell, friends Kahira Jones, André St John, and Shane Williams all participated in the beating death Clive “Lizard” Williams over two missing firearms belonging to the deejay.

The alleged murder took place on August 16, 2011 at a house on Swallowfield Road in Havendale believed to be owned by Vybz Kartel.

Clive Williams body has yet to be found.

To help make their case, the prosecution introduced several damning evidences including text messages, voice notes, Blackberry Messenger messages and video footage.

The Crown also had the help of an informant who says he accompanied Clive Williams to the house in Havendale on the day of his disappearance. The star witness, Llamar Chow, says he escaped from the house after seeing his friend lifeless body on the floor.

He told the court that he saw one of the accused men with a building block in his hand.

The defense maintained that the entire case was fabricated by the police force with the help of the informant to secure a high profile conviction.

Senior police officer Patrick Linton admitted in court that one of the Blackberry smartphones that police officers extracted data from was being used while it was in the custody of his department at the cyber crime unit.

The defense asked the judge to exclude the phone and its data from the evidence but presiding judge Lennox Campbell rejected the motion and accepted the incriminating data into evidence.

Presiding judge Lennox Campbell took six days to give the 11-member jury his summation of the lengthy murder trial.

Justice Campbell told the jury to not find the dancehall artiste guilty based on the content of his lyrics. But focus solely on the evidence presented by the prosecution.

Vybz Kartel and his co-accused are facing life imprisonment for the murder.

Can’t be true must be a joke this hour we now knowing this

So true, the evidence are not concrete

WTF! Man on VIDEO, Voice and Text messages coming from his cell phone giving orders to CHOP and MINCE UP Lizard body and disposed of it so NO BODY could find it and you say evidence isn’t clear? UH!! I am one of Kartel’s biggest fan FROM before he bust-out on the music scene and NO body is more disappointed than I am right now.

BUT Kartel stray from the music and get caught up into gangsta warfare mentality and believing he was too big to face justice.

He must pay the price like ALL the other murderers. PLUS this is NOT the first time Kartel and his boys kill people and walk free. At least two other close associate of Kartel is still missing one of which he was found not guilty of. If you ask me, Kartel and his boys were actually serial killers in Jamaica. They FINALLY slip up and get caught!!!

He’s facing life now!!

Sexy T

Yea, but if he is guilty so is three quarters of dancehall because if not all preach the same lyrics.

Sexy T

His case was a very bias one, the Jamaican authorities a try prove a point but they didn’t go about it the right way. We do not have the technology to prove that the videos on the phones were real and not fabricated. Everyone in Jamaica knows that the police force is corrupt and so is our judicial system.

mumma hype

They could not let them go because them know, a law suite would follow, jackass say the world nuh level

Jah Tbla

Well Kartel always claimed to b a killer in almost all his Gun tunes. I guess he finally tried his luck real life n realised that murder is not childs play after this verdict. So he will hv to reap the fruits of his blodklatic ways.

yes! and thats the great thing about kartel, he has music all across the board because he is very versatile, i would allow my child to listen to his child friendly music. its just like movies and shows, not all shows are kid friendly. same with actors, some actors makes films that are kid friendly and their other works aren’t so much. but thats the great thing about parents, they are there to regulate the content their child consumes and to guide and grow the child properly. just because an artist makes some violent/slack music doesn’t necessarily make him an overall bad person to listen too. listen to mothers love by kartel, my child could listen to that, listen to testify, school, thank you jah, where is the love, ghetto youth, life we living, let it be, shape of my heart, jah jah neva fail i yet, bad reputation, guns dem load (kartels verse), clarks, where weh you have, slew dem like david, all of a sudden, bible deh near me, mama, just to name a few.

Jamaican Criminal System is a joke. Kartel was the voice of the ghetto & they didnt like it. HOW can evidence that has been tampered with be used in a court of law? Its a set up, but this will do more harm for Jamaica than good.

shasyl

you are a very confusing person…..

realkilla

i know and for life is a bit too harsh of a sentence when np body was found not finding the body and phones being used while in police custody .. with all the strange occurrences of the case why such a strong sentence? (if one at all)

Blunted25

Can someone explain how they are able to convict without a body?

chercher

Yes, I can…..it is a myth that someone cannot be convicted without a body. Just last year a police officer who had raped a girl and was awaiting trial, went to her home, kidnapped her and took her out to sea and use a large stone and sink her body which was never found. She begged for her life and promised she would not testifiy against him but he killed her anyway and he is in prison for the rest of his life.

Now, there is a thing called circumstantial evidence and it is used in place of hard evidence …….eg. John is dead and they found Tom with ropes and tapes and blood on his shirt and he has things belonging to John in his possession or he has his bank card and draws out money out of John’s account…..that’s a lot of evidence unless he has a damn good explanation to satisfy logics.
In this particular case, we heard the defendants saying on tape that the body will never be found because “wi chop it up fine fine….”. Do you think Williams family should have been able to hold a funeral for their love one and grieve properly and put this sad case to rest? Given justice as provided by law?

realist

That text was sent 3hr after the police toke the phone……..the case is a joke you can convect with out a body but if you prove indeed that person is dead bloody cloth something no dna the house have no blood in it but thats where he was beating to death wrong location on cell towers its a joke but in high profile case like this when they pick corporate working class ppl that probably hate him only caz of his music emotions play a big part in this verdict its just my opinion

Blunted25

True. I figured that circumstantial evidence would be enough if infact the body is destroyed with no way of locating the remains. I haven’t heard all the details but if he is a murdered, he gets absolutely no sympathy from me.

shasyl

Mek we just pray for one another and leave this to the almighty…….

The main reason them fight kartel suh a cause him influence bigga dan di dutty politician dem a jamaica and most people weh a talk bout him fi guh jail neva did pree di case from day 1. Until dem show di body dem an some valid evidence mi seh him innocent,people fi stop judge kartel off lyrics an stop be hypocrites. When roger clarke lick dung di yute off di bike mi nuh hear dem bring so much scandal pon him not even court him nuh guh and di man weh drive the x6 weh shoot di yute how dem nuh send him guh prison. Atleast kartel a talk fi di ghetto yutes which artist a duh dat right now ”none”.

The way the police went about the case is very fishy to me and they just wanted him to be put away even if he was guilty or not. In my opinion i dont think he is guilty but it is easy to put someone away if certain people are working on the same page. I just hope either way he continues to inspire and try to help the jamaican youths

Sometimes it makes me wonder what kind of SPELL is mankind under!!

terrence

Those are national tabloids so they have to publish what they “think” is best for the nation’s interest. Is only the common man like yourself and I would think that kartel would walk away from this sham of a trial a free man. The government of jamaica, as with any other country, have a say in what is written in news papers and streamed on tell-lie-visions. From the trial started I’ve been trying to post comments on the gleaner and observer pages but, to no avail and its not like I was posting rude or slack comments. The good thing in all this is that kartel is not illiterate and I have a strong feeling that he will get acquitted on a re-trial.

truth

Mi swear to god bredda mi neva know seh a suh people hate kartel till now read the comments them on observer,gleaner pages. Them a rejoice seh di man gone a jail. Most of the comments a talk bout skin bleach and lyrics. Them nuh know how the case guh from start. How can u wish for somebody’s demise and talk bout god and jesus ???

All the idiots that are saying that you cant get convicted without a body are all just as retarded as kartel to have participated in this after he has so much money. If he is a real boss then he wouldnt havr to get his hands dirty. Hire someone to do the work for him. And there are plenty of cases where people have been convicted with out a body found, not only in jamaica. Everywhere in the world

Leo Sapling

You just proved the defense’s point. Why would he get involved in a murder like this one?

Mark Tobias

Problem with some people is that they keep saying “where is the evidence” , its simple “him a mince meat now dem nah find him” how would Kartel and his crew know that if they didnt do it, why even come to that conclusio that fast after the guy was missing.

The people who thinks the cops sould have typed in those messages need to understand that there’s is a TIME line that comes with every single text and messages, if the messages didnt come from kartel and crew dont you think his lawyers would point this out instead of pointing out messages ONLY after the fact.

It’s pretty much clear the Gaza crew are responsible, if it was YOUR own family member some would look at it differently, the guy has talent but this is not an excuse for a criminal to get a free pass and walk the street and use the fact that he beat the case to make more $$$….my opinion = JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED

https://www.org.com this me

According to Finson, that “mince meat” text was sent while the blackberry was seized and in police custody, he even had the time stamp that supports his argument that the phone was used after kartels arrest. & “Gaza” people are outraged because the trial was biased and unfair, Campbell completely disregarded the time stamp, so that would lead one to suspect a conspiracy or bias, even a child could see that something just isn’t right there. Not to mention the many other strange things on behalf of the prosecution and police. I’m a Kartel fan, but quite frankly, if the evidence was solid or the police work was sufficient, i would not oppose kartel serving a sentence, but this was so sloppy on the police’s end that it wreaks of conspiracy and the trial was not 100% fair. Make no mistake however that if Kartel is truely guilty, then he has to do the time; but if he is really guilty and they are sure of it, why isn’t the evidence more convincing? there is still too much doubt even after the weak evidence was accepted. There are too many unanswered questions and too many things to settle. This case was for them to make an example of him, and with Dancehall’s most headstrong person out of the picture, a crippling blow has been dealt to the genre, and the poor people.

Your name says it all …#TooBias

Yuh a di biggest hypocrite mi come across in a long while. Either that or yuh too dunce fi understand yuh own preachings. Why you keep on saying that he should be locked up because he left too much evidence? Is it ok to murder another human being providing there’s no evidence to link you to that murder? Are you a murderer who kill people and leave no evidence? What is it that you really want to say? You can speak your mind and nothing will come of it. Afterall, you are anonymous right?

Im sorry. But it seems like EVERYONE is ignoring the term, “beyond reasonable doubt.” It is outrageous and disgusting how these men were held for so long, never mind being found guilty. I can not believe that they can actually serve life in prison based on evidence based on cell phone texts/video which has possibly (most likely) been tampered with. Saying they are guilty is most definitely NOT beyond reasonable doubt at all. There is not one piece of evidence that PROVES FOR A FACT that these men killed clive williams. These are entertainers. Although they have a bad guy image they can in reality be very intelligent and good people. The image is part of their job. But u can not assume they are guilty murderers because of image. That is completely ignorant and absurd and unjust. I can even name songs where these men are speaking the truth and are actually against crime and killing. Listen to tek life by shawn storm… this is no doubt a set up. It is a shame how the government in jamaica is so corrupt and get away with these things. I pity the judge and the idiots behind this scheme. In the end, however, in the bigger picture true justice WILL prevail.

terrence

Justice for who though? I myself is not in any agreement with the handling of this case by the prosecution but, I do ask myself this question, if they were innocent, why didn’t they take the stand and let the prosecution cross examined them?… look at the bigger picture, yes we could prove that the case was rigged but we can’t really prove that they have nothing to do with what they’ve been accused of.

Live in Love

I refuse to believe he is not intelligent although I don’t know him personally I have a strong intuition that he is actually too smart to be involved and lose access to his empire and family…. I strongly believe he is innocent. time will tell.

Live in Love

we are forgetting that it was not just him convicted, why are the others not shown in the article like kartel is the only star lol

chercher

The evidence was overwhelming. Here is a 38 year old man who is very rich and with potential to make more money, but he chose to be wicked. He was charged with another murder of a businessman and because of lack of evidence the case was dismissed. While he is in jail awaiting this trial, his former road manager was shot and killed and the police suspects that he ordered the hit because while he was in jail he had several cell phones, removablel drives and other electronic equipment which they believed he used to contact people on the outside to commit this crime. If you notice, he has 4 tear drops at the corner of his left eye ….this is a symbol that people in gangs used to indicate that they have committed murder and each represent one killing.
Any reasonable person would conclude that Clive Williams is dead. On the night of the murder, he sent several text messages to his girlfriend pleading with her to call the police to save him, because he was in a car on his way to meet Kartel and that he was scared and that Kartel was going to kill him. He was telling her please hurry because “wi soon reach”. No one has heard from him: he has not called his family, his girlfriend or the authorities to tell them that he heard about the trail of his friend, but he was a alive somwherre. People don’t just disappear off the face of the earth.
There was a witness present when the murder occurred and this guy told the court that when he saw Williams’ lifeless body on the floor he escaped because he feared he would also be killed. He said that Kartel wanted him to leave the island because he didn’t want police to have the opportunity to question him.
The government’s presentation of the case was not without flaws. They botched some of the evidence eg. they found blood at the scene and took DNA from Williams uncle by his ‘father’ side instead of his mothers which did not match. People know that a lot of “jackets” are in Jamaica so they should be smarter tha that. The Police produced video tapes and other electronic messages which the defense said was tampered with. One thing was mind boggling was that while Kartel’s cell phone was in police custody, some one was using it, when this should have been under lock and key with only the office handling the case having access to it.
Then we get to the defendants themselves making unsowrn statements expressing their innocence to the court and acting as if they were choir boys. When a defendant gets on the stand and not take the oath that he will tell the truth and nothing but the truth, it means that he does not want to be questioned about what happened. Kartel said that on the night in question the neither witness nor deceased visited his home that night. Yet, he was contradicted by Campbell when it was his turn to present his innocence to the Jury, that he dropped of Williams on the way to Kartel home, but the Prosecution’s witness was with him at the house.
Why would police single out these men to lie about their involvement and tamper with evidence to convict them? There are many who feel that even if they committed the murder they should walk free, but what if it was your own family member? Would you like someone to kill your mother or brother and walk around a free person, free to kill others. One of the reasons why we have so much killings in the country is because the police have not been able to find the perpretrators, but hopefully with more technology and GPS a lot more of these criminals will be caught and brought to justice.

what about when they said they found like bare bodies in his backyard wtf was up with that ???? this case is strange….

https://www.org.com this me

this case is super strange man. soo many unresolved issues its not even funny, this is truly a benchmark case. That’s why I feel like this case is more than Kartel and Lizard, thats just the cover up, there are ulterior motives to bring down Kartel and whoever else is caught in the crossfire, the more the merrier. Look at how they handled the whole case? I don’t know how some people don’t find it strange. & nuff people frequently ask, “what if it was your family member who got killed?” my question is, what if it was your family member that got framed? lets not act like the JA system won’t go there, we all know that they are dirty and will do whatever it takes to mess up someones life that they’re after. this is why i feel like there’s more to this case than Lizard, they never gave a fck about ghetto people, so why is it so important now? a youth like Lizard them woulda never piss pon him if him was on fire, but true them after kartel from morning, all of a sudden them want justice fi ghetto yute. Set up and conspiracy. Police kill nuffa wi so mi know that a bullshyt

If there was a “lord above” so much alms house wouldn’t be in this world today… why yuh “lord above” neva stop di man from chop off him baby mother’s head a few weeks ago?

No atheist

Sounds like a true kartel fan….. Maybe he should spend some time with his Idol. …in prison lol

It shall be overturned. They would want to. They let him out Vybz Kartel gonna change the world. There is no way they should have even came with a verdict based on the evidence. The fact they make un sworn statements says not much based on the case because when you are a celebrity you tend to have lots to hide about your personal life the wrong thing can get the wrong attention in the media’s eyes. The fact that the star witness make his statement 8 days after the alleged murder says a lot when you think of the letter he supposedly sent to the superintendent staying lizard alive. You have lots to actually consider. It sounds much like Mr. Chow have a lot more to do with this than spoken. Sounds like Mr Chow scheme a bit more. I find it hard for someone to be as unintelligent to leave such a trail of evidence. They say the only good witness is a dead witness I don’t think Mr Chow would be alive if he didn’t have a part in this. I don’t understand why lizard have phone and he not alert police himself I not understand a lot none sound right.

Real talk if he does have something to do with this case, that does not change my love for him as an artist… His music is fun and nice!! I will forever be bumping his old & new chunes.

moses

Its not a surprise …vybz kartel has always being a violent guy and the people made his ego grow by proclaming him as the worldboss.

if you do the crime, then u cld do the time… disappointed just like I am disappointed in buju. I agree the hearing was biased, they should have confiscated the evidence off the phone since a police was using the phone though.. jus saying

evablessed

heaven only knows.

Come now really. …. The next 2pac!?….never was and Would never have been. 2pac had waaaaay more positive effect on people than kartel. You can count the number or positive tunes kartel sang on one hand.

The society already mess up some of these people mind. It’s not that they don’t care but they don’t know better. We don’t want to blame Jamaica, it’s the way how the individuals was raised. These people will blame the Government for everything. Are they trying to do there part as citizens, NO! If a gunman or pervert in your community, they know he is doing wrongs no one would care until he hurt a member of their families. These things start in the ghetto, because no one wants to be an informer. Some of these people don’t even care about Vybz kartel, they just love excitement and want to be loud. All these people coming out saying that they’re supporting kartel. He has done nothing for Jamaica. He bring more violence to our youths and disrespect ladies and people think that ok. I am thanking all who participate and support his guilty verdict… and there will more joining him soon

Who is going to save Dancehall now? The Dancehall hero is going behind bars…plzzz Kartel Dancehall has been around before u even got known…you were my favorite Artiste at one time when your songs came on the seen I Was hooked on them in my teenage days but never understood what happened to you..were you somehow misguided or influenced by others around you? Dancehall will progress without you though after all its not one person but it’s a fraternity, how u got yourself into this mess nobody knows….got your buss from aligning with Bounty Killer should have made the best out of it…very fortunate individual many wished they had the opportunity like you…Did you or did you not do the crime well it’s not up to me to decide #WastedTalent

https://www.org.com this me

Society and the system is what happened to Vybz Kartel, we are a products of our environments. He was influenced by the circumstances of the ghetto. The system will drive many more individuals to think the way kartel did because they don’t show the ppl any love, care, or positivity so the ppl will not know or show it either, (this is why kartel did what he wanted and said what he wanted with no remorse and refused responsibility from the effects of his actions, because the govt refuses responsibility to the ghetto, its a double standard. its okay for them to deny the ghetto ppl but him must tek up everybody’s problems on his head? honestly, he expressed what he was shown; they dont deal with ppl with love in the ghetto). I always said that society creates monsters and then runs from them. They deal with people in such fckd up ways and then when people start to show fckd up behavior everybody forget what lead to it and gwan like di yutes them just crazy. ppl who don’t care or try to understand where these issues are stemming from are the BIGGEST problems in this struggle because they ENABLE fckry to continue and so the oppressed will continue to respond how they feel necessary.

HOTTEDD_TURF

Well said my friend well said

HOTTEDD_TURF

Perhaps that person forgot what the judge told the jury “Do not come to a guilty verdict based on content of Vybz Kartel’ s lyrics but based on evidence presented”

Just another dumb nigg@ thinking killing is cool and with a few dollars can erase his mistakes. No @sshole burn and feel what a mistake of this magnitude will cost you.

White power where did your 33 degree freemasonry get you in life blacks are too dumb to be freemasons we white created the guns for you too kill each other and the good news it’s works

This is probably a troll.
Please don’t judge white people based on this guy. He’s just an idiot.

I’m impressed by that insult. Wow.

How long is “life” in prison in Jamaica? In my country it’s 18-25 years.

ape killer

Jamaicans are hopeless not when it comes to killing each other vybz is going to get sodomize in prison and we the klan the ayrans and white power movement are rejoicing in Kartel being found guilty at least Bob marley had a good message because of his white blood in him

How obvious is it that the individual who wrote that was a black man trying his hand at manipulation.

LIFE.. everyone on twitter were saying 15 years. But Life Tho… These Are The Consequences’

Daniel

Bang tidy

Endarken

Lock him up. No one is above the law. We have to stop support the bad-man culture that is regressing Jamaica. Everywhere I look I see Black people in the same stagnation. If we don’t blame the white man we blame authority then justify it with self righteousness and a belief in a fantasy called religion. How will we rise as a people if we cannot self regulate. Life requires the acquisition of knowledge. If that is not your pursuit, yu goin to dead out!

Jamaikan Wise

Yo first of all me is a reggae and dancehall fan overall. i dont favour anybody whether kartel or damian marley a jus music me say. If u do the crime pay the penalty thats jus it. I will say this tho. the jamaican system is known for its lackadaisical traits and cover ups. they see vybz kartel as a threat..young black ghetto youth with power. I wont lie..his image is a bit sketchy yes..but think about it..open your minds for one minute and think as educated people.. If you were a business man selling bags..wat would you do? Make the bags appealling according to what the public is gravitating towards… The same with musicians..rappers..djs..rnb singers..pop stars u name it.. Dont blame kartel for violence in jamaica because killings n robbery a gwaan long time from befone me and you born..chronixx did a song saying he gona burn the vatigan..why isnt he been brought up for his ungodly lyrics?? The people demand a certain profile from kartel and thats is what he gives through his music to put food on his table..thats just it..

The court case was very very sketchy. Im not saying this because im a fan im sayin this because clearly their case was weak but simply because its outcome was already heavily influenced thats the outcome we are seeing now. Evidence tampered with is jus a no no. Hw can u extract information from a blackberry? Dont the president of united states use a blackberry? Why because of its impecible encryption? Wat kinda a machine dem talking about? Tell me? Because it was said that terrorists used Blacberry phones to avoid their informaton being looked at.. The security minister clearly blamed kartel for the crime in jamaica and that i was disapointed in..People react to the treatment they get from the government..People a tief light, a kartel fault that too? Priest a rape likkle bwoy a kartel fault to? rubbish.. the police and the system had planned to get him from day one..they planned it all..I just cant see how they found him guilty based on that kinda circumstantial evidence .. i jus cant. I would like to see an appeal done in a court that cannot be manipulated.. This one clearly was.

jam voice

the best of a man can change in my opinion he dont deserve a life time in prison at least 15years if he is truly guilty of his actions also if he is sentence a life time imprisonment those who kill others from now on should be treated the same we all are human beings we tend to slip and slide at times they just hating on d boss i hope the magistrate never do any wrong

endarken

my youth. Yu know seh that is why mi hate religion. It tell people seh them can do all kinds of evil and then pray to santa for forgiveness. Then some weak heart people will also feel the same sympathy for him. How has religion made Black people better than to live subservient to others?

Religion as Karl Marx says is “opium of the people” like every drug u u think it brings relief but does worst than intended good..

suh some P’suppy delete my comment. Well memba seh is knowledge over illusion, consciousness over idol worship, and Spirit over Soul.

Where is vybz kartel 33 degrees freemasonry homies when he was found guilty for murder vybz kartel the prat that he is, is a victim of his own success he should’nt dance with the devil by making fun about does the devil have a bank account you wish your masons have one who could of bail you out and to all you brainwashed delusional fans who worship kartel your just a bunch of wankers mainly the ones who talks about Gaza and none ain’t a clue about real Gaza thats in the middle east

The symbol, a sign use by the illuminati, his ring has nothing to do with them. He made that ring for the spotlight. Wearing or using the symbol don’t make you a member of their cult. There is other procedures.
